Playing something new/old with AOE1 Definitive Edition. Considering getting AOE2 DE (on sale), but my system is already sluggish with the first DE so there's no rush. AOE3 DE will have to wait even longer.
Looking over Steam and GOG sales there are some good deals, but I just don't feel like it. I have so much in my Steam account already, and boxes of old games to replay, it's hard to justify buying games my old system can't even play.
2023.02.07
That didn't last long - some Steam sales I can't pass by:
$1.49 LYNE
$1.99 Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York (2019)
$3.99 Papers, Please (2013)
$9.99 Call of Duty (2003)
CoD is overpriced, but the price do not seem to get any better over the years (checking stats on isthereanydeal), and it's an action game my current system should be able to handle. And it's something of historical value that I missed playing at the time.

In between games. Time to consider and give time to the regulars; the games I've been playing for years along with whatever the current game is: GTA5, TF2, June's Journey.
2023.04.29
Made myself play some TF2, just to keep up with that. Why is L4D 1 and 2 still installed? Play a round of each.

General rule: if it's on my wishlist, and under $4, just buy it.
If it's on sale for like 85% off, maybe still get if under $10, especially if it's older, and/or unlikely to go much lower.
Some very old games are seemingly locked at unwarranted high prices like $20, $30, etc. and are almost never on sale.

2023.06.30 GoG
free Beholder 2
2023.07.03
I prefer having everything on Steam, and GoG is good too, but reluctantly Battle.net has to be in the mix. There's just not other way to get their games.
I thought I was done with Diablo 2, but Diablo II: Resurrected exists, and D2 was so great that I have to at least try it, and there's a huge sale now. Each of these are 67% off.
comes with nothing
adds D3, Reaper of Souls, Rise of the Necromancer, pet + wings
same as above
I already have D3, Reaper, and Rise, so... I'll just get D2:R
Warcraft III: Reforged is half off; $14.99 for Standard Edition. Worth it? It's been a while, but I don't remember WC3 that fondly, though I remember playing as the undead was cool. And that solo RPG after the main story was nice... last thing I remember was something about a panda.
(didn't get it - the community hates it)
